FYI: Another strong year for stocks and another round of head scratching for investors in liquid alternative strategies that are mostly designed to hedge the risks associated with market downturns.
While there are always exceptions when it comes to alternative strategies — because performance dispersion can be extreme — the general sense is that most liquid alts are not yet living up to their promise and potential.
